Description

Older-cut Houston Rockets jersey, Yao Ming’s name and number — the one that survives a full schedule of wear.

It works for the serious viewer and the casual one — the shirt does not care how closely you are following the standings. The Houston Rockets look is carried by the Navy base, with Yao Ming completing it on the back. The graphics are built up in layers and heat-set, so the front and back hold their shape.

It is knitted, not woven, and the wicking finish is what keeps it comfortable late in the game. The neckline is finished with taping and no label, which is the detail you notice on hour three. It is as believable at a birthday as it is at a tip-off, which is exactly what you want from a jersey. If you already own older Houston Rockets pieces, the colours sit comfortably next to them.

Why it works

  • Not a display pieceMade to be worn through the season rather than kept in its wrapper.
  • Holds its shapeDenser knit resists the sag that featherweight jerseys pick up halfway through a season.
  • Colours that stayThe Navy reads the same in week twenty as it did in week one.

The practical bits

Is it true to the photos?

The listing photos show the Navy colourway as it comes out of the bag.

How does it arrive?

Pressed, folded and ready to wear — there is no assembly or first-wash ritual.

What are the graphics like up close?

They are applied in layers rather than printed flat, so the edges sit slightly above the mesh.
